Compared to the surprise of the Ao brothers and sisters, Sheng Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao didn't think anything of it. They thought they had just gone to the back door to pick up the fifth day of the new year. They were seen along the way. The news spread to the guest house and they attracted visitors.
At this moment, Sheng Suihe invited the two of them to sit down and serve tea, and the servants made tea. Sheng Weiqiao smiled and asked Ao Luanjing: "Sister, are you here to see the fifth day of the Lunar New Year? It's a pity that there will be no shortage of people on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. It’s so funny!”
She said this because she was worried that Ao Luanjing would be curious about the fifth day of the lunar month—it would be fine if she put it aside until the fifth day of the lunar month. But now she felt that she was dying on the fifth day of the lunar month, so she naturally wanted to stop her in advance to avoid the "last period of time" on the fifth day of the lunar month. Still walking unsteadily.
In fact, Sheng Weiqiao would not welcome the arrival of the Ao brothers and sisters. After all, in her opinion, these brothers and sisters just disturbed Sheng Suihe's "last companionship" on the fifth day of the year.
Ao Luanjing didn't know what she was thinking. Hearing this, he said blankly: "On the fifth day of the lunar month? Who is that?"
"It's a leopard - sister, don't you know?" Sheng Weiqiao was surprised, "Then why did sister come to Xiezhuxuan...?"
"I just went to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu to look for you, but I was in vain." Ao Luanjing explained half-truthfully, "The people over there said you went to my aunt's place. I didn't dare to disturb my aunt, so I went back. Guest House. Not long after that, I heard someone casually say that you seemed to be at Cousin Sheng’s place, and my brother happened to be coming to visit Cousin Sheng. Anyway, I didn’t have anything to do, so I came with you!”
Sheng Weiqiao said: "Oh, Jinli and the others really don't know how to do things! They knew that my sister was looking for me, so why didn't they send someone to call me at Chengchuntai? They just asked my sister to leave like that! I will definitely punish them later to make amends to my sister!" "
"Even if they want to find you, I won't let them go!" Ao Luanjing sneered in her heart. Who doesn't know that you are the apple of the eye of Sheng Mansion? If you really value me so much, how dare those maids not be attentive
It's obvious that you don't take me seriously. Those who serve you know your attitude best, so naturally they don't take me seriously either!
But he still cooperated and begged for mercy, "How can I disturb you mother and daughter when they are talking? Besides, I have nothing important, I just want to talk to you about gossip! Don't really blame them, otherwise I won't dare to do it in the future. I’m looking for you at Zhu Ying Xiaozhu!”
In fact, her idea was not unfair to Sheng Weiqiao. Sheng Weiqiao really didn't take Ao Luanjing too seriously. After all, this was only the second time they got along. Unlike Sheng Weiqiao and her cousin Shen Jiuniang, they had a relationship that they had built up since childhood. So in the beginning, Shen Jiuniang fell in love with Xu Baomo and used Sheng Weiqiao as a cover. After being exposed by Sheng Suihe, Sheng Weiqiao's unhappiness was mostly directed at Sheng Suihe. She complained to Shen Jiuniang and let it go.
He even enthusiastically helped the cousin in return, hoping that she would get her wish.
It was also with the help of Sheng Suihe that Sheng Weiqiao saw his true face, and Sheng Weiqiao had no good impression of Ao Luanjing at all.
Now he still refers to her as "sister" and speaks politely to her. It's just for the sake of the ancestors' face and he doesn't want to quarrel with her. Anyway, Ao Luanjing just came to Sheng Mansion as a guest with Mr. Ao. After being a guest, he left. We're back. It's just a few days. There's no need to make Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ao troubled because of her!
Talking about Jinli and the others was just a show of words. Seeing Ao Luanjing begging for mercy, he simply nodded his head and said, "Since my sister said so, I will remember it this time! It's a good thing that they are lucky enough to catch up with my sister and talk to her easily, otherwise I would have to Don’t let them suffer!”
Ao Luan Jing was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly: I knew this Sheng Weiqiao was hypocritical, but she turned out to be so rude!
But in front of everyone, especially Sheng Suihe, she couldn't bear it anymore and smiled gently and generously: "I'll be relieved if you promise not to punish them. It's not a big deal."
Afraid that Sheng Weiqiao would continue to anger her by promising not to punish the maid, she quickly changed the subject, "By the way, my sister just mentioned leopards? How come there are leopards in Xiezhuxuan?"
"Yes..." Sheng Weiqiao didn't think much about it just now and casually said the name of Chuwu. When he met Ao Luanjing and asked about his history, he realized his oversight and was about to make up for it. Sheng Suihe, who was talking to Ao Luanxiao next to him, turned his head. He said with a smile: "It was raised in Zhuangzi where I was studying. After we went there, we found that we were very compatible, so we named it. My sister missed me these two days, so I took it over. But because it is a ferocious beast after all, let Zhu Ying go. Zhu was afraid of accidentally hurting his sister, so he kept her here with me first."
He obviously didn't want Ao Luanjing to disturb the fifth day of the month, so he added, "I think it's because of the bumpy road. It will be very tired now. My sister is very distressed and no one is allowed to come near her. She is in the house over there." If my cousin goes out with my sister later, stay away. Although it is tame, it still retains a bit of wildness. It is familiar to my sister and me, but it is very unfamiliar to other people. If it becomes wild, It’s our brother and sister’s fault for hurting my cousin!”
Ao Luanjing looked worried when he heard this, and said: "Then I will definitely not come close later - but since there are still wild animals, how can they be kept here with my cousin? I remember that the garden of Sheng Mansion is very big, and there are also wild animals raised in it. We’ve got a lot of rare birds and animals, why not send them there? Since we won’t hurt my cousin, the beasts can have a bigger place to stay.”
This girl didn't know Sheng Suihe's feelings for Chuwu. She shouted "Fifth Brother" in front of everyone who knew. This unconscious "beast" immediately made Sheng Sleeping Crane's eyes turned cold, and his tone became a little calmer: "It's because there are many rare birds and animals in the garden, so I'm afraid that if they go away, I'll be frightened. Besides, there are so many people coming and going in the garden, especially this one." There will be a running water banquet for two days, and there will be many guests. Once it hurts anyone, it will be trouble."
"I like it anyway, so it's good to just keep it here!"
He was already very unhappy at this time, but he only tolerated it because he thought that he was playing the role of the eldest son of the Sheng family with "both talent and appearance".
However, when Ao Luanjing heard this, he thought too much and said to himself: "I was worried that Aunt Feng would be harmful to Cousin Sheng after she became pregnant. This is great, even the leopard has come over! It's clear that she wants to What a harm to Cousin Sheng! But I don’t know if Cousin Sheng didn’t notice it, or did he notice it but couldn’t resist due to filial piety?”
She felt distressed and angry, and felt that she could not let the leopard stay in Xiezhuxuan any longer. She immediately turned her head and said to Sheng Weiqiao: "Sister Weiqiao, speaking of which, I quite like these beasts. I wonder if you can part with me." , give me this leopard called 'Chu Wu'?"
Ao Luanjing was concerned and confused. She was afraid that Sheng Sleeping Crane would be eaten by Chu Wu if she turned around, so she asked Sheng Weiqiao for it in public regardless of her face. Originally, she thought that as a guest of the Sheng family, Sheng Weiqiao would not care if she spoke so directly. If you don't like yourself, you will definitely agree to it on the scene.
However, not to mention that Sheng Weiqiao knew about the bond between Chu Wu and Sheng Shuihe, but Chu Wu was not hers at all, and she could not agree as generously as Shuihe, so she had to say vaguely: "But I Love it too… ”
After saying this, Ao Luanjing's face turned red, and Ao Luanxiao, who was about to scold his sister for being rude, was also a little embarrassed. After all, although Ao Luanjing spoke rashly, it was also disrespectful for the host to refuse her.
Especially to the wealthy Sheng family, a leopard is really nothing.
At this time, Sheng Suihe came out to smooth things over: "Sister, it's true, cousin Ao hasn't even met the fifth brother, she just likes leopards! In this case, why don't you go get another leopard for your cousin! You have to keep an eye on it What is Fifth Brother doing?"
Then he smiled at Ao Luanjing, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Cousin, do you think so?"
Ao Luanjing didn't notice the coldness under his smile. His cheeks were slightly reddened by his smile. In a daze, he even ignored the call "Fifth Brother". After calming down, he felt more and more unable to He asked Chu Wu to stay and insisted: "But I still want Chu Wu."
She doesn't really like leopards, she just wants to solve hidden dangers for Sheng Sleeping Crane!
But this time Sheng Weiqiao was also a little annoyed: "Sister, as my brother said, you haven't seen the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, why do you have to have it? I will find another leopard for you, no, I can find any number of leopards. Black Leopard, leopard, clouded leopard...what kind do you like? How about I get you a pair of each?"
Seeing what Ao Luanjing wanted to say, Sheng Weiqiao asked with a bad expression, "Or is it that my sister doesn't like leopards at all, but she just wants to steal what I like?"
What she said was so serious that she almost fell out in public. When the two brothers saw this, they quickly said: "Sister, what are you kidding about?! You usually don't even allow cats to get close to you, for fear that they will come up and catch them wildly. I'm hurting you, why is a leopard suddenly coming? Even I don't dare to approach such a ferocious beast, let alone you?! Stop messing around and apologize to cousin Wei Qiao!"
Sheng Suihe also said to Sheng Weiqiao: "Cousin Ao is just teasing you, why do you take it seriously? You are really a child, why don't you apologize to your cousin quickly?"
He also apologized to the Ao brothers and sisters, "My dear girl, we have spoiled her rotten. Please be more patient with her!"
These words seem to be asking for forgiveness on behalf of the sister, but in fact they imply a slap in the face: Sheng Weiqiao's favor in the Sheng Mansion has never been a secret. If the Ao brothers and sisters do not want to ruin the friendship between the two families and make Old Ao take them away in embarrassment, today It would be best not to mention this conflict at all.
But hearing this in Ao Luanjing's ears, he felt sad and said to himself: "That's right, I'm not afraid of Sheng Weiqiao. If we have a falling out, we'll run away! But Cousin Sheng is still in the Sheng Mansion, and now he's here again . What if Sheng Weiqiao turns around and turns his anger on him, and drives Aunt Feng to be happy? Wouldn't it be even more difficult for him in the Sheng Mansion? "
Thinking like this, she finally endured her anger, stood up and blessed Sheng Weiqiao, and tried her best to smile: "I wanted to make a joke with my sister! I didn't expect that my sister liked that beast so much on the fifth day of the fifth day of the lunar month. It made me laugh. I can't stand it! I hope my sister won't argue with me. How could I like such a ferocious beast? But my sister should also pay attention to it. Beasts are beasts. If they initiate sexual intercourse, it doesn't matter whether they are rich or not! "
Ao Luanjing was still angry, so she said she was conciliatory, but she still couldn't help but call Chu Wu a "beast" and refer to Sang's way of scolding Huai.
But she didn't know that Sheng Weiqiao looked strange after hearing this. He couldn't bear to look at Sheng Suihe's expression at this moment. He also stood up and gave her a gift in return, saying, "I'm just being petty. Thank you sister for your magnanimity!"
He also said that since Ao Luanjing didn't like ferocious beasts, he wouldn't give her another leopard. "If it scares my sister, it's my fault. But my Zhuying Xiaozhu is full of chrysanthemums this season." , there are many famous products planted there, which are the only ones in Nanfeng County. I will bring some pots to my sister to enjoy, and I hope she won’t dislike them!"
Ao Luanjing agreed with a fake smile, feeling more and more confused: It was the same just now. He pretended to punish the maid, and he begged for mercy, but Sheng Weiqiao immediately said he would not punish him; now he said that he didn't like leopards. , Sheng Weiqiao took back his promise again!
It can be seen that this so-called sister is not sincere to him at all! ! !
Although Ao Luanjing does not like leopards, no matter what he thinks now, he feels aggrieved!
She originally wanted to retaliate in some way, which made Sheng Weiqiao unhappy, but the shameless Ao Luanxiao felt ashamed to stay any longer. After they exchanged some polite words, they quickly stood up and left - he was leaving. However, Sheng Weiqiao had no intention of retaining Ao Luanjing. No matter how reluctant Ao Luanjing was, he would not be embarrassed to say that he wanted to stay alone, so he could only leave in frustration!
After seeing off the Ao brothers and sisters, Sheng Suihe looked at Sheng Weiqiao who had followed him back and sat down, and felt very helpless: The brothers and sisters are gone, why don't you go? !
Not only did Sheng Weiqiao not leave, he even waved back. When Sheng Sleeping Crane was so nervous that his hair was about to stand on end, he came up to him and asked with a smile: "Hey! How does it feel to be protected by a beauty in every possible way?"
When Sheng Suihe took her to listen to him the year before last, although Ao Luanjing was very disdainful of her, the jewel of the Sheng family, he was full of admiration for Sheng Suihe!
What was Ao Luanjing's plot just now? How could she and Sheng Suihe not see it
